It just seems implausible this is what we are made of, essentially, nanotechnology about a billion years beyond anything we can design or make ourselves.

That DeepMind documentary (“The Thinking Game”) now has ~300m views on YouTube.

The most replayed scene is a meeting when someone tells Demis that AlphaFold can “easily” predict all known (1-2B) protein sequences “in a month”.

He looks up from his phone and says “Why don’t we just do that? That’s a great idea. We should just run every protein in existence and then release that.” 

That would ultimately lead to the Nobel Prize.

Interesting backstory from WSJ on how they were able to capture the footage of the meeting: a former NFL Films director (Greg Kohs) had done some commercials for Google and they asked him to do the documentary for the famous 2016 AlphaGo match with Lee Sedol.

After that project, Kohs realized he should just do a documentary on DeepMind (Google would own rights but he had full editorial final cut).

He spent a ton of time with Demis and Co from 2018-2024, and that’s how he got that incredible moment of Demis and AlphaFold (including the moment they released it to the world).

A new method developed by @DanaFarber, @broadinstitute scientists @meyersonlab, @mnleeee identifies specific #antigen parts, or epitopes, among peptide pools – akin to finding needles in a haystack: https://t.co/7tjAQK8nxF #immunology
